ISEPS Special Projects Option

The ISEPS overseas study program has hands-on internship programs available in Seville, through its Special Projects Option (SPO). SPO internships may be of a career-oriented, academic, or intellectual nature, and are for the serious students who wish to use his/her time abroad as a constructive platform for accruing genuine career development experience, in a Spanish-speaking professional environment.

There are SPO internships available in International Trade & Commerce, Global Tourism, International Business, Journalism and Communications, Franchising, Comparative Education, Immigrant and Refugee Affairs, Pre-Law, and other areas. Planning directly ahead of time with the student and his/her Home Campus Advisor, ISEPS details a professional working experience that introduces the participant to the real world requirements, demands, and results-oriented expectations of a work environment. These are not push-the-photocopier-button jobs; this is real work.

With the ongoing support of the Home Campus Advisor, the future participant outlines an internship proposal, which is sent to ISPES for consideration and approval. The essential question is for ISEPS to determine if it is really something that the participant can carry out given his/her background, education, and particular skills, within the reality of an assigned professional setting. The Home Campus Advisor decides upon credits for the internship, and advises ISEPS of any credit agreement made with the student so that ISEPS fulfills the requirements for home institution credit.

At the same time, ISEPS will name and Advisor/Counselor who will in effect become the Home Campus Advisor's adjunct in Seville. The Advisor/Counselor will meet regularly with the student to insure that everything is progressing as per all home campus expectations in the accepted outline. The Advisor/Counselor will explore solutions for possible situations that might arise, with the objective being that from the very moment that the participant arrives in Seville, he/she will begin working.

Internships are available in the Fall and Spring Semester as a part of the overall semester academic plan (~12 - 14 weeks in duration), or in the Summer Session on its own (~5 weeks in duration), and for 3 - 6 credits depending on the determined scope of work.
